CCJS@cc.nu.oz (James Smith) (01/01/90)
Mention was made some time ago of having a regular monthly posting to answer questions that regularly seem to crop up in this newsgroup, such as 'what gaffa is'. I guess it would be something like Brad Templeton's regular postings to rec.humor.funny. Has anyone actually done anything about this? I would love to have a go at putting something together, but I'm not much of an editor, and more to the point, Newcastle is a little bit out in the boondocks mail-wise. One way I could see of doing this would be for people to post questions (and answers) to a central person and he could then edit them into a single regular posting. All comments welcome. Jim -- James Smith | Spelter was thinking, eight sons, that means he Computing Centre | did it eight times. At least. Gosh. Newcastle University | ccjs@cc.nu.oz.au | -- "Sourcery", Terry Pratchet
